The RoleYou'll have full accountability for the reliable and safe operation of a portfolio of properties in Moscow, combining hands-on technical work with strategic asset management, maintenance planning, and health and safety oversight.
This is a genuinely unique opportunity, part technical all-rounder, part strategic planner, part relationship manager. You'll work closely with teams in both Moscow and Wellington, manage local contractors and service providers, and act as the go-to expert for all things facilities and technical.
